Hunt, Green

Another man takes his own life.

Central City, March 17 - Mr. Green Hunt, a prominent and wealthy farmer of Dunmor, near here, committed suicide Monday by hanging himself in a stable at his home. His family relations were very pleasant. His wife and two children, two married daughters, have not the slightest idea why he took his own life. He had made no threats, and it was not till two hours after life was extinct did his wife find him suspended by a rope from a rafter in the stable. Temporary insanity, caused by continued bad health, no doubt, prompted the rash deed. This is the second suicide recently in the little town of Dunmor, and the citizens are considerably worried over it, scarcely knowing what next to expect.
